1)We are not an organization. We just a friends, who want to stand up skinhead culture in Moscow. We are ready to defend this using different ways. We organize shows, we do magazines, some members of MTS play traditional music in their bands. Some of uy loves mores tradition black music, like jamaican. ska, reggae and rockstedy, and american soul music some of us more in oi-streetpunk stuff, some of us prefered oldschool american hardcore, like Warzon, Slapshot agnostic front. So we named Trojan but not all members seems to be reggae fans and being into involved traditional skinhead culture of 60's. We are proudly call ourselfes antiracist, for make a stand against nazis, and we don't hide our patriotic views, we love our town, our country, there's no words about goverment, for this every member of crew can have his own point of view.
Unfortunately, therem manu boneheads, nazi hooligans on casual stye, and other righ-winged scum Of course, there are troubles with them. But for last 5 years sitation becomes better i think. Now We Have prety strong anti-nazi movement, on oi-punk, hardcore, reggae, wich arranged by us or our friends where's nazi free zone...and they even afraid to come around. Sometimes we also have trying sabotage their shows. You may start laughing. but greatest problem are "apolitcal" and right-winged football hooligans, wich ussally you can meet, for your suprise, at ska, ska-punk shows...we don't like this scene a lot only Distemper and Spitfire have storng anti nazi position and maybe some young bands. So fights with nazis as usual starts near this so called "ska-concerts". It's make us sick, how can you be right-winged racist, and listen to the music with black jamaican roots same time.
4)There's still no pure skinhead label in Moscow. We Have ome Zines, Streetprint Zine from our Friend Pankrat from Perm, vety nice zine about skinhead culture. i think first SHARP, RASH and Trads groups start growing in 90's. Guys from Distemper wer involved in skinhead culture in early 90s, they said that it starts early form pun[ in middle of 80s/ Now This Guys areour Friends, we have made a great anti-racist stand up on Moscow and Russian Sks scene.Nazi movement start arranging in 90-s too and became very popular in end of 90s early 2000s, now it's not so strong. First Skinhead group i think it was oi band Uchitel Truda, we don't like them a lot. more jokes than really deal, their find themselves apolitical, for them it means thay they have nothing to do with nazi. We don't think so. We always ready for fight not for our politicl views, but for our friends and our culture
5)We think, that like red like anarchy like apolitical policy can be accepted in society. But not for MTS. We are strong apolitical crew...wish means that wheres no maintain political idea for the members of crew, but each member can have his own political position. We have some RASH friends, but honestly, we don’t support any policy among skinhead culture. We cooperate with RASH sometimes.
6)We don’t have football team.//but most of them never will do nothing for their politics, their interested only in their troubles, firms, and etc.i think last casual cloathing mode trands more interested for them than any politics. Everybody of MTS support different football teams. Nazi views is very popular among hooligans in Russia. But we have strong freindship witn our neibours from Bellarussia(MTZ -RIPO form Minsk and FC NEMAN from Grodno have antinazi supportetrs) and Ukraine (Arsenal From Kiev have antiracist ultras gang too).
7)Who is antifa? People who support antifascism? In Russia antifa is very complicated notion. MTS are skins. We don’t call ourselfes antifa. We are antifascists. But at first we are skinhead crew. In Moscow antifa can be like hippie like tough guy who can smash the fash. And they can be just people. There is no any constant form for them. We some people whom call ourselfes antifa we can have deal, some of them are not being found very nice by the crew. We don't have such strong anti nazi movement like in Germany o France. Hope it Wil grow up with time
8)We recommend you to contact with RASH. http://www.redskins.ru/modules.php?name=contact/ We recommend to check our top friends list on myspace page(http://www.myspace.com/moscowtrojanskins) all bands are showed there.
10)To make more shows, to keep standing for our believs, to develop skin scene more and more. We do things we really believ in. Stay Rude, Stay True, Stay rebel. Good luck.
